My advise...

First, why cams? What other supporting mods do you have?

What are your goals?

What's your budget?

Personally, I'm running Skunk2 Pro 1 cams. However these are pretty aggressive cams. Idle is NOTHING like stock at all. But you want to match your cams to your setup and in my case I have higher CR pistons, ported head, good flowing intake and exhaust.

You can easily over-cam your motor and make less power with cams for various reason.

I agree with above. get a budget first and then go from there.

What everyone is using is not something you should be using. Cams are made in different varieties and stages, making many different candidates for different setups. There is no one cam perfect for every setup. Given the nature of your question, and without any information on your setup being provided... You are not aware of this.

it was a general question. My mods are header/intake/full exhaust and numerous other mods not directly being part of the motor. I want more streetable power. i am n/a and plan to stay that way. I have read alot about people mixing cam brands(like a skunk2 intake cam and a toda exhaust) what is the point of that? dont companies make their cams to work est with each other? Price isnt that big of an issue im worried more about quality. So any info would help.
